Back to the Pool

With no sign of the hamstring getting any easier and after a couple of days off hitting the town large for Melbourne Cup i was back out in the pool early this morning.
Nothing flash just did a set of 300s and even went as far as doing some drills in an effort to improve further - The only issue with the drills is it really does show up how bad you really are, and i must have looked a right Wally as i spluttered my way down the pool doing One Armed drills. Still another 2ks completed as the countdown is now on before i fly out to Phuket.

Got a couple of photos from Sunday's Noosa tri - although you might need a magnifying glass to see them , not sure how i can enlarge them from the site ( any help from the Master would be appreciated?)

Always nice to have the swim leg over and done with.

Coming In of the bike


Doesn't look to dry to me - Flakey?


Coming over the finish line 2.11:25 minutes later - Happy Days.

Also would be wrong of me not to congratulate HuRTS boy on reaching another birthday today - Yes, Old Enda Patrick Stankard turns another one over today and joins the Chairman on his 39th - only one more before he joins the likes of High, Macca, Master, Palmer, Razor and I in the more senior club when the competition then really does hot up and he will need to toughen up a little just to survive in the company.
The years haven't been kind to Enda though as his wife Angela sent me this photo through this morning as he started the day off.


Enda celebrates another birthday, Happy birthday mate from all at the Trash and HuRTS  :)

Cheers

  1. That aero helmet doesn't fit you properly...unless you are hiding your running shoes up there or trying to do your best Frankenstein impersonation :-). Great effort though with a 2.11. Well done

  2. Young Timmy; 'Anon's' comment got me thinking.
    Where had I seen your image before?
    Then it came to me ;-)
